    Why These Dates Matter

    Bangor University is a Russell Group-adjacent, top-200 globally ranked UK university in North Wales, popular with international students for its affordable living costs and strong sponsor licence record. Missing any of the dates above usually means deferring to January or September 2027.

    1. Apply by 20 August 2026

    You need a conditional or unconditional offer issued before you can pay the deposit. Most undergraduate and postgraduate applications take 5-10 working days at Bangor, so submit your full application (transcripts, English test, passport, personal statement) by early August 2026 at the latest.

    2. Pay the deposit by 28 August 2026

    Standard tuition deposit for international students is GBP 5,000-7,000 depending on the course. Pay via Flywire, Convera (Western Union) or bank transfer in your home currency. The university only issues a CAS once the deposit has cleared.

    3. Get your CAS by 11 September 2026

    Without a valid CAS you cannot apply for a Student Visa. With UKVI standard processing at 3 weeks, a CAS issued on 11 September leaves a tight window for visa approval before the 28 September start. Use Priority (5 working days) or Super Priority (next working day) if you are cutting it close.

    Can I still apply to Bangor University after 20 August 2026?+

Lightning Enrolment can fast-track late applications where possible.
